CORAM: HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE JAISHREE THAKUR

Present:

Mr. Sameer Sachdeva, Advocate, for the petitioner.

**** JAISHREE THAKUR, J. (ORAL) The present writ petition has been filed seeking directions to the respondent - State to release due grant-in-aid, which is to be paid to the petitioner College under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme for onward disbursement to the teaching/non-teaching and retired/retiring teaching staff. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner-College is a private affiliated aided college and under the 95% Salary Deficit Grant-inAid Scheme, it has complied with the requirements, but the State has not reimbursed its dues. It is also stated that many times the officials of the petitioner College have requested the authorities to release the amount. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner-College will be satisfied if its grievance is looked into by the respondents within a reasonable time.

After hearing counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the controversy involved, this Court is of the opinion that notice need not be issued to the respondents since limited relief is being prayed for, at this stage.
